A FRIEND

II A FRIEND II


The evening assembly in Swamishri’s presence in London had just finished. Devotees began trickling out of the mandir late at night. After the last car left the parking area, youths ran back to the mandir for their daily ritual – the moment which they long for daily – their last darshan of Swamishri for the day.

Tarun, a youth, said to Swamishri spontaneously, “Bapa! Our hands are frozen due to the cold weather outside. But if they weren’t, I would have loved to shake your hand.” Swamishri instantly offered his hand to Tarun and said, “Come on! Let’s see how cold it really is.”
Like a friend, Swamishri fulfilled the wish of a youth.
